Uneven water flow in roof valley caused by gutter guards blocking water, leading to potential drainage issues and needing a DIY solution.

Gutter guards effectively block debris but also impede water flow, and existing valley controllers may not fully address the uneven runoff; no integrated solution exists for balancing water distribution while keeping debris out.
